Is it normal to dislike your family?

Depends.It depends

Yes, it’s normal to dislike some or even all of your family, especially if you clash or they’ve hurt you. Being related doesn’t mean you have to enjoy their company or stay close.

Family ties don’t guarantee that you’ll get along. You might dislike certain habits, values, or the way you’re treated—or simply feel more at ease with other people. Some people love their family but don’t particularly like spending time with them; others need distance to feel okay.

Your feelings don’t make you a bad person, and you’re allowed to set boundaries. If the dislike comes from ongoing cruelty or mistreatment, it’s okay to prioritize your safety and seek support from someone you trust.
